Maju IPPT on the 2nd day of 2008

Cleared my 2007 IPPT window period today. Glad I didn't get that pass with incentive like what I've got my previous year. Not that I've actually taken IPPT at other camps or even the Safra gyms, but I come to appreciate the route at Maju as well. I always like doing my IPPT in there, the running...

I've got closer and became more understanding & tolerable with my loved ones on top of securing my first...

Inaugural Lion City Marathon 2008

Here we have it, the 2nd official international marathon in Singapore for the 2008 season. Part of the Uniquely Singapore experience starting from the city to the west north up to Mandai.

N82 real world tests

You won't totally experience the N82 after using it for a few days and putting it through the "real world" tasks. Overall my reactions are mixed, but I felt that Nokia could have made the N82 a better phone. The main thing which shines in this phone is the camera, throughout this blog posts are some photos...

Full Hands-on review of the Nokia N82

Got the N82 today. Nicknamed, "the imaging king", the Nokia N82 is a Candybar form factor phone which is the latest crown jewel in line of the N series line of phones. On paper the specifications seem impressive, feature-wise, the N82 is in not much in any very much different from the flagship N95 8GB and very...

Rumored 6 Megapixel Camera slider phone from Nokia

Apparently from this leaked picture from Nokia, it seems that the successor to the N93i wouldn't be too far off in the 2008, spotting a similar form factor with the camera mounted perpendicularly to the phone face. The N96? Figures. This sideway mounting position is typical for phones which feature optical zooms (yup no pixelated digital zooms for...

The days after the marathon

Was around the esplanade area yesterday, I never thought that I would myself back at the hot spot so soon as I was very much recovered and walking around normally.
